More of the Chee/Leaphorn duo, September 23, 2003
Reviewer:

This pair is a little like Batman and Robin, except Leaphorn is a lot smarter than Batman (and waaaay older), and Chee is not nearly as ingenuous as Robin. But still. It's the older guy as prickly friend and wise mentor to the younger upstart. Chee is now a Lieutenant in The First Eagle, and Leaphorn, whose wife has died, is retired and trying the role of PI on for size. Chee has got a murder to solve, and Leaphorn's working on a missing person case; the two cases merge on Yells Back Butte while, on the side, we have hantavirus rearing its ugly head. Good Hillerman stuff. Not the best, but really, just good stuff.
